Austin the cat. Sketch in ballpoint pen

Here’s a cat called Austin, a drawing requested by Caro from the UK who blogs over at Cataustin.blogspot.com Go have a look 🙂
This one was a little difficult, and I think that it turned out a little too messy.. Different shades of black/gray are pretty hard to render with black ink. Maybe a solution could be to exaggerate the whites in some kind of way, but i don’t know. The details also seem to have muddled a bit up, which may be due to the small size of the drawing.
Maybe it’ll be better next time.
I hope you like the drawing anyway!

You did a most excellent job and captured Austin excellently! And yes, Black is very difficult! This is our painting of Spitty the Kitty – https://catfromhell.files.wordpress.com/2011/10/spitty5x7.jpg
At least with paint, you can add a touch of another color (in this case a navy blue) to create depth.
